Deploying a new Open Server SMS
I'm getting ready to build a new SMS on an open server in ESXi.
When I've done this in the past I would normally select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64-bit) as the guest OS when creating the VM, and i'm wondering if I stick with this or should I select a newer version now?
I've been looking in the manuals and on the KB but can't find any specific recommendations, so was wondering what everyone else would use?

That setting picks which virtual hardware template you start with (how many cores, how much RAM, whether you get a sound interface, etc.). It can also affect the guest integration CD image offered to the guest when you request guest integrations, but Check Point doesn't support that.
It doesn't actually affect anything about how the VM runs.

I think this is what you are looking for.
Solved: open server - Linux type for VMware - Check Point CheckMates
RHEL 7 is the recommended choice for R80.20+ Management, R80.40+ Gateways.
RHEL 5 for pre-R80.20 (either management or gateway).
For R80.20-R80.30, depends on the precise image used.
